The government must stop taking NHS staff for granted.
We’re seeing lots of people attend A&E with Flu symptoms – fever, chills, headaches and aching muscles - which can hit suddenly and severely. Most people don’t need medical care or antibiotics. For advice on flu and when to seek medical help please go to NHS 111. @aedbthft

"Staff will request all patients and visitors to put a mask on when in an Emergency Department and they will not be engaging in any debate on the guidance. It is a matter of public health and infection prevention control to keep all our patients safe.” @RCEMpresident
This week's #ThankYouThursday is dedicated to @BTHFT's brilliant A&E Department. It comes courtesy of a patient who wished to pass on their gratitude for the care they received when visiting the emergency unit.
